Application filed April 4, 1914. Serial No. 829,522.

' To all whom it may concern:

the following is a. description, reference be- 7 ing had to the accompanying drawings, forming a pan, of this specification.

My invention relates to rubberized fabric and rubber tires for use on vehicle and other wheels.

ter of the My improvement consists in a tire constructed of a rubberized fabric and rubber outer part, comprising a plurality of plies of rubberized fabric and rubber, generally three or more plies of the former, the number of plies varying with the style or size of the tire to be constructed, the assembled plies being covered with a reinforcement or sheath of rubber molded with a tread in any well-known shape and containing if desired the usual breaker strip. each ply of rubberized fabric being doubled back along its edges and over a wire or wires wound in a comparatively inexpansible ring or coil of a diameter a proximating the inner diamenished rubberized fabric and rubber tire outer edpart as hereinafter described and claim In the drawings Figure 1 is a'transverse section of a tire constructed in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is a top plan view of a portion of the rubber tread showing one form of anti-skid surface; Fig. 3 is a coil of wire having five windings, the ends of the coil being connected; Fig. 4 is a detail view showing thejoining of the of the wire.

14,15, 16, 17 and 1s a. lies of rubberfrom the inner folded edge to the outer folded edge and compacted together providing squared dovetail shaped beads or packs.

29 is the usual breaker stri the rubber sheath 30, the trea of which has therein or thereon the anti-skid or anti-fricembedded in 1 tion wearing surface, comprising the ciri of the tire, the retaining beads or flanges comprising annular parts 35 and 36, the part 35 extending in an axial direction and also extending slightly outward, thus enlarging in circumference toward its outer end adjacent the'part 36. The part'36 extends radially and is inclined slightly inward toward the central plane of the tire. Together, the parts 35 and 36 form clencher edges to receive the edges of the outer part of the tire when the inner tube is insertedand inflated as aforesaid. The precise form of U shaped part is immaterial, providing the interior side surfaces will receive the outer part edges properly. Within the two parts the usual inflatable inner tube is emp g aving thus described my invention the following is what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. A tire structure comprising a series of plies of fabric; each ply having its edges doubled upon and laid against t e body of the ply providing a fold and a metallic ring located in the pocket of the fold, the folds of the plies increasing in width from the inner fold to the outer fold.

2. A tire structure comprising a series of plies of fabric; each ply havingl its'edges doubled upon and laid against t e body of the ply providing a fold and a metallic ring located in the pocket of the fold, the folds of the plies increasing in width from the of the plies increasing in width from the first fold to the last fold forming beads or first fold to the last fold forming beads or 10 packs. packs of squared dovetail shape.

3. A tire structure comprisinga series of 5 plies of fabric; each ply havin its edges MARK DEES' doubled upon and laid against t e body of Witnesses:

the ply providing a, fold and a. metallic ring WALTER ALLEN, locatedm the pocket of the fold, the folds WALTER E. ALLEN.
